On the third anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, September 17, 2014 (S17) we will be gathering in Zuccotti Park, New York City.

OWS S17 Planning Assembly welcomes you to attend a unique Occupy Movement celebration of independent and progressive media for its role displacing mainstream media in getting out our stories and related causes.

This day is also designed to make it possible for many significant organizations within and outside Occupy Working and Affinity Groups to meet and engage in conversations geared towards creating positive solutions for the social and economic justice issues facing us all.

It is likely that Zuccotti Park will be occupied all day long and that the core assembly for media and organizations would be present at least between 10 a.m to 3 p.m.

At noon there will also be special announcements by attendees about past and current successes and to call attention to important upcoming events.

Bring your banners, promotional materials, business cards, brochures, samples, t-shirts, signup sheets, whatever you’ve got. It's with appreciation and excitement that we look forward to conversing on September 17, 2014 in Zuccotti Park.

In solidarity — We are the 99%.

This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.

Biden cared more about the appearance of having an independent DOJ untainted by politics than he did about holding an unrepentant criminal ex-president accountable.

The American people clearly spoke, and the drubbing Democrats received requires looking beyond just issue polls, voting patterns, campaign strategy, or get-out-the-vote tactics.

The recent decisions by two of the most influential national newspapers of record to not publish their endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris says a lot about how seriously they take Trump’s threats to democracy and his promises of vengeance against his enemies.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.

The country has never moved as close to the course it took under Benito Mussolini as it is doing now — and even if Meloni is not a neo-fascist politician, she has put herself in a position to appeal to and broaden fascism's political base.

On the eve of the historic November vote, it seems important to ask: What's wrong with men, how did we get here, and can we change this?
